Your right SIC, All Wrestling , including Death Match Wrestling has a begining and an end, ie the winner is pre determined, but some matches the chosen winner has been that seriously hurt before the end and his win, the end result changes.

XPW and the Vic Grimes scaffolding incident was a diliberate attempt by New Jack to kill Grives for seriously injuring him by being frightened to fall in a previous scaffolding match, which resulted in Grimes grabbing on to NJ and pulling him off with him. Hospitalizing him .
New Jack saw this as his 'right' for revenge. A lot of these guys are pilled up on painkillers so mistakes are common.
New Jack has been responsible for 3 real deaths in the ring, including a 17 year old but has been cleared each time.
Check Wikipedi and U Tube for court accounts and video footage. .
All the cases were tried in a genuine US court and he was aqquitted each time, even though all were caught on film and 1 was a repetted stabbing.

WARNING, If you check this on U Tube , it is extreme, even though the 17 year old dies latter , the deep blading of his head and jumping on his head with a steel chair is the sickest thing i've ever saw.

XPW was owned by a porn company and fans gradually left the company due to the sick things it made its wrestlers do, plus the male on female violent fights.
At the beginning it attracted big name wrestlers, but as the matches got more bloody and the company refused to take AIDS tests it thankfully closed.
CZW are probably the only Death Match company left in the States thats not in the backyard wrestling leagues.
